Chapter 309: The Problem of the Larson Family
Aldrian only smiled upon hearing Ghulani’s words, knowing that the gathering place he mentioned was the same one he and Sylphia had visited before coming to the Boraz fortress. He had already killed some of the devils in Flamecrest, but he knew those were not the only devils present in the city. He could deal with the rest later.
"Alright, I’ll help you. So, what do you need from me?" Aldrian asked.
Ghulani sighed in relief, then looked at Aldrian with a serious expression.
"Please help me spread the truth about what the Larson family has done to the people of the empire. Ruin their reputation so thoroughly that they can’t lift their heads again. Right now, I’m alone and have no one to support me. If I try to spread this news on my own, it will have little effect, especially after the incident in Flamecrest. The masses won’t easily believe news like this anymore.
So, I hope you can help me. You can share this information with the authorities in Flamecrest and ask for a reward. I believe they will offer you something generous in return for such valuable information. I can’t do it myself because of my affiliations and circumstances," Ghulani said.
"With the rumor that the Larson family is connected to the devils, they will be forced to tread carefully and won’t act recklessly. If they somehow discover that I’m still alive, they won’t be able to focus their entire effort on finding me because of their own problems."
Aldrian sneered inwardly at Ghulani’s excuse for why he couldn’t inform Flamecrest himself. The truth was that Ghulani would be punished by Flamecrest if they discovered he was a spy from the Larson family. On top of that, he was one of the few people responsible for spreading rumors that Flamecrest was harboring devils.
Ghulani was one of the few people present the night Commander Marcus began showing signs of being a devil. He had acted as a mere passerby at the time. If Ghulani were brought to the Flamecrest dungeon and confronted by Jil, one of the witnesses from that night, Jil would instantly recognize him, he had seen Ghulani’s face after all.
If the Flamecrest discovered this, there would be no chance of them forgiving Ghulani, let alone offering him any reward. Instead, he would be executed publicly as an example to anyone daring to mess with the Flamecrest family.
